Windies Go Four-Prong; Black Included

The West Indies selectors have made one change, replacing the injured leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo with fast bowler Marlon Black for the second Test against India starting Friday in Trinidad.

With the Queens Park pitch expected to be well-grassed and offering some support to the seamers, the Carl Hooper apparently decided the four-prong approach would be his best bet.

Carl Hooper (captain), Chris Gayle, Stuart Williams, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Junior Murray, Mervyn Dillon, Marlon Black, Adam Sanford, Cameron Cuffy.

India (probable):


Saurav Ganguly (captain), Shiv Sunder Das, Sanjay Bangar, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman, Ajay Ratra, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan.
